What Gamespot Users have to say about DLC Quest

  • Rating:6

    A great satire on the gaming industry

    DLC Quest isn’t something I’d call a game, but more of a parody or satire of a game. Sure, it’s playable and enjoyable, but the writing and design of it all are meant to take a pot shot at the new menac... Read Full Review

    DLC quest is a game that's sold to you bit by bit (with in-game currency, thank god).

    There's a disturbing trend that exists in today's video game industry: selling game extras to us as DLC. Games are now releasing on store shelves as incomplete packages with bits and pieces set aside to be sold to us as... Read Full Review
